OpenXR Toolkit Works When it Feels Like It

Hi,

I've been enjoying this title in VR but it takes a fair bit of fiddling to get it to look right. Without OpenXR Toolkit my system struggles to run at 80fps with settings in low. When I have OpenXR running it looks amazing. 

So far I've found that OpenXR Toolkit runs when I am doing tutorials and when I come out of the tutorial it usually allows me to enter a tine trial stage. After completing a stage I quit and the game crashes. I then re-launch the game and it crashes when I'm loading into a stage. I close the game and repeat and one in three tries will load the stage but it crashes when I finish and quit. Why is this? The game can clearly run OpenXR Toolkit but it's just not working properly. It's a shame because without it the game looks like a PSVR1 title. I'm struggling to play it whilst it's this bad. Do we know if there is any kind of update/patch coming to fix the issues?

My PC is a 7900XTX GPU  and a 7800X3D CPU with 32gb DDR5

    OpenXR Toolkit is deprecated software. It hasn’t had an update in almost two years and will never be updated again

    When Codemasters fix the resolution scaling glitches, WRC will be just as performant on its own as it is with the Toolkit (except for people with eye tracking headsets, hopefully that’s coming too)

    Thanks for the info on the toolkit. Hopefully EA will sort it out soon but there's been no talk of a patch as of yet. 

    It's so close to being perfect, they just need that little bit extra to get it feeling like a complete VR experience

    What worked for me, was adding -force -dx11 to my launch options, and after that OpenXR Toolkit stopped randomly crashing. Some people report that dx11 results in lower FPS, but so far that hasn't been the case for me.

    Thanks for the info. What are the steps for enabling dx11?

    Right click WRC in Steam library -> Properties -> General -> Launch options -> -force -dx11
